ok....
let me try and explain a little better.
1) Group your drum tracks into an edit group
2) Once you've recorded a take create a new play list - P.t will create one for all drum tracks and automatically name them in a fairly sensible fashion.
3) Record the next take to New playlist
4) repeat 3) til you have kick ass drum takes.
After that edit and comp how you wish; but this is how the I do it, so ill always know whats what.
Create a new playlist to comp the drum takes to, i tend to use the third one which I normally keep clear before doing takes.. so i.e Kick_03 etc
Having done your comp, copy the entire comp to playlist 2 (kick_02) Then bring out the lord of the beats himself, the Mcgyver of meter; the Frost of Feel, the poirot of performance, the dick tracy of drums.
YES! Beat detective
Then having done all your B.D edits and fades, Copy this to the First Playlist (kick) and consolidate the regions (alt+shift+3)
Then having checked all is gravy and groovy with your drums... Backup the session as it is...to what ever medium you like;
Then save as Session drums Done.ptf or whatever.
then delete the unused playlists
Then go into the region list and click select unused regions.
Then Hit CLEAR and NOT delete!!
Then Save session copy in and save the edited comped cleaned up session wherever you save these sort of things.. and voila one nice clean drum session ready for bass/guitars
greyskull thats wicked bro
Thanks for explaining the process in detail, may you be inundated with sex hungry crazed virgins for as long as you desire
oohh..."have separate sessions for tracking, editing, and mixing. Saves your ass incase something gets corrupted" wise words AudioGeekZine
Thanks again guys
